Claim a payment

Someone paid your Solana address through zkSVM. The value is already in the pool, shielded, waiting for you. Claiming moves it into your own shielded balance.

What you need

• The wallet that owns the address they paid.
• The claim code the sender gave you. It starts with zkclaim.
• A little SOL for the network fee.

Steps

1. Open the app, connect that wallet, and unlock (Connect and unlock).
2. Open the Claim tab.
3. Paste the claim code and press Claim.
4. Approve the transaction.

The app finds the note in the pool, builds the proof, and the amount arrives in your Shielded balance as a note of your own. From there you can send it on privately or unshield it.

Why there is a code

Notes are encrypted so that only their owner can read them. A note sent to a zks… address is encrypted to a key your shielded wallet holds, so it simply shows up. A note sent to a plain Solana address would have to be decrypted with that address's own key — an operation browser wallets do not offer.

The claim code fills the gap: it carries the note's details to you directly. It is not a secret worth stealing. The proof you build ties the note to your address, and the program checks that your address signed the transaction. A code without your signature collects nothing.

Notes that appear by themselves

If you use a wallet that holds its key directly — a burner, or a keypair in a script — the app can decrypt payments to your address without a code. They appear under Your notes marked Owned by your address, with a Claim button beside them. Returnable payments are the exception: they always arrive by code.

What the chain records

The sender can tell when you collected — nobody else can.
